Like I said it depends on what Programme as in TBF,DIB,UniSA,UWE and also lecturers etc. The best is ask the lecturer themselves. Mostly 5% though if some lecturers might be ok with higher maybe quotes but must be properly referenced using Harvard Referencing System while some lecturers don't even check for plagiarism.

Taylor's Business Foundation is being run in Taylor's University and not Taylor's College.
There's no difference actually, if you join the March intake for TBF you will simply graduate a bit later than the January intake. If you enter the January intake then you will graduate around November/December while if you join March intake you will graduate around January/February. Though if you join Jan intake then you will graduate in time to join the January intake of UWE BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance which starts early January though if you join March intake when you graduate the only nearest intake is the February UniSA and Taylor's-UWE dual degree programmes.
Books depends on the lecturers. Some lecturers don't prefer to use books only using their notes while some do. New books might you around RM60-90 per book. Though there are always a lot of seniors selling cheaper second hand books so look for it. Some people don't even ever buy books, just borrow the books from the library and keep renewing,returning and borrow another copy of the book every time through out the whole programme.
Car park spaces has always been a concern and so need to come early. TBF classes start and end differently every day according to your class schedule,subjects,semester etc and can range anywhere starting as early as 8 am and can end anywhere until 5 pm and maybe have a few hours break in the middle. On Average your classes are about 6 hours daily and like I said could start as early as 8 am onwards and might end anytime till 5 pm. You might have days where class starts at 8 or maybe start at 10 or sometimes maybe start at 12 lol and class you can end at 12,end at 2, etc. etc.

Yes if you want to join the January intake you will need to use your forecast results since your real results are not out yet. Three things could happen if your real results in SPM does not meet the requirements.
1. The Programme Director might consider your case, see how you have fared in the programme thus far and then set certain grades that you must achieve in your finals in order to not get kicked out of the programme.
2. If you do not meet the 5 credit requirement for TBF but instead have 3 credits then you can transfer to the Diploma in Business programme.
3. You will be forced to leave the programme.

rlly? which place? coz as long as u play it anywhere other than hostel its perfectly fine.. but i managed to connect to the hostel one yesterday only for a while but now its gone =.=

hi seniors, i have a friend who is currently taking foundation in science in other university. can he use that foundation cert to pursue engineering degree course in taylors? please enlighten me.

wow,so its better to join with my real results.

The 24/7 study room..
I tried using the wifi at my friends house and it worked out perfectly find (not my laptop problem), I dont know what's wrong with the campus one..

Depends. It will be handled on a case by case basis. Is the foundation MQA accredited? He would have to submit a copy of his results etc. to TU for them to asses.

Well it depends on you ^^ if you work enough 5 credits isn't that hard to achieve.

do you know how much does it cost for mechanical engineering degree course in taylors?

hmm weird coz its normally no problem around those areas. i personally hate the library and 24/7 cause its friggin cold but does this happen all the time or a day? ur friends house or hostel?

anybody? can anyone please tell me how much would it cost for mechanical engineering degree in taylors? we can apply ptptn loan right?

hum that's weird I always use the wifi there,library and student life center and they were pretty stable. Occasionally it's slow but never dc a lot before ^^" I only always dc a lot when I'm out like at desert bar,outside mph etc.

Full tuition fee+Misc Fees for October 2010 Intake for 4 years is RM 112,764. Fees for Jan 2011 intake is not out yet. Yes you can apply for PTPTN loan but how much loan you will get depends on your parents salary etc.

Hikari u sound like ur working with the uni or something lol...u know the staff there

erm...i would like to ask for law course at taylor's,first two years will be conducted at taylor's,can i apply for ptptn to cover the first two years tuition fees?

yes u can use the money to pay for whatever u want after u get it but a reminder is that it wont come out only after a few months starting ur course. in other words...u have to settle the first fees urself cause they cant wait for u.

hum I''m a regular student ambassador during events etc so I know some staff and my involvement with ECA last time and now SDH is why I know their staff quite well as well ^^

student ambassador eh so ur active in clubs? participated in the sports carnival? my good friend whos my classmate is part of the student council handling student wellfare. do u know?

I was active until a few months back with clubs but now I just take the back seat and look at my juniors do all the hard work ahaha though I still go kacau people from Student Development Hub a lot for work etc. and my pay for working during events like open day,orientation etc. =P
Nah I didn't participate in the sports carnival.
Your friend is handling student wellfare hum.. Alex?
hum the only person from the TU student council who I really know is shannon from DIB, the others I may have met and talk with them on certain occasions but don't really remember them ahaha.

Everytime I use the internet this happens.....
